God's Love

[Bucky Ball]

2 Tim. 2
  Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them in the sight of [1]the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.

But we are actually one Family with One Father


1 Cor. 3
  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal,even  as unto babes in Christ.
   I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
   For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
   For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
   Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
   I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
   So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

So some are "Older" and some are "younger".   And the "Older" should assist the "younger" to grow up.   But because of human mentality still very much present this do tend to get "difficult" sometimes.  And thus the "Baby Life" emerged.  Where they are all in different groups.  But with the Same Father.  And these groups are admonished to stop functioning separately.   But as it goes for "Kids".  They are mostly very stubborn. 

As for Me I am happy to have my Brother, @UtilitarianDeist here.   Of course we are of different Spiritual age and have to work that one out now.

Except that all you can produce for your claimed 'something' is words written by people and you still can't show you have anything more than nothing, very, very foolish

So you actually accepted that you are working to have "nothing" in the end.  Good. 

I am on the other hand not working to have "nothing" but to be "rich". 

Mat. 6
 19  ¶Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 

  20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 
  21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 
  22  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 
  23  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Oh look. He's doing his Babble quotes. 
How terribly original. Isn't he special. 
The FIRST rule of debate is "know your audience". 
No one here accepts the authority of your Babble scripture. 
You're spitting in the wind. 
If that's all you got, you may as well give up now. 
Before you make any other assertions about the gods, ... how about you demonstrate they exist, and then demonstrate yours is real. 
Take your time.

BTW, Timothy said "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness"
... too bad there was no canon when they made that one up ... which means that he could have been referring to anything at all.

I have a Babble quote for you :
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
not by works, so that no one can boast" - Ephesians 2:8-9.

We don't have the "gift". It wasn't given to us.
Ask your idiot gods why they would do that.

"Laying up riches" is salvation by works. It's exactly what Paul said it was NOT, (but James said it was).
Too bad it's all a pile of nonsense.

The Jews of Jesus' time where Pharisees and Sadducees. Jesus ridiculed the Pharasees.
They were the ONLY sect in Judaism which believed in immortality. In general, the Jews did not buy in to immortality.
The Saducees, (the ruling class), who were in charge, and ran the temple in Jesus' day, (if indeed there even was a Jesus), did NOT believe in immortality.
In classical Hebrew thought, ALL the dead (shades) went to Sheol. Sheol was not where Yahweh and the Heavenly Host lived.
Christianity corrupted Hebrew thought, and changed Hebrew/Biblical ideas of immortality.
Even Paul thought it was only for the saved. "Put on immortality" etc. It's all a pile of complete rubbish.

Jesus described you :
"The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.
But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."

You clearly think you are better then the rest.
